Olympus Stylus 800 is an excellent camera

Strengths: ease of use, on board instructions, all weather camera

Weakness: No viewfinder

I bought this camera for Christmas. I also bought a JVC Everio HDD video camera. It turns out that the Olympus, with a 1 gig card, takes much better videos than the more expensive Everio. This little camera takes beautiful snapshots, has a large variety of specialized settings, allows playback with sound of movies taken, has a huge amount of capacity with 1 gig card, very long battery life even...

A Sure Winner

Strengths: Lots of Great Features Aperature and shutter manual controls

Weakness: None that are worth mentioning.

I had the Olympus stylus 500 and when the stylus 800 came out, my spouse inheritated the 500 which she loves but I definitely wanted the improvements incorporated into the stylus 800. The large viewfinder is great and all of the scene modes are awsome. What I mostly liked is the three extra megapixels and the aperature and shutter manual controls. Also all of the direct function buttons are easy...

Olympus Styles 800

Strengths: 8 mega pixels, Low light ability. Weather proof.

Weakness: View screen sometime hard to see in bright light.

The low light ability is what sold me on this camera. It is nice to be able to take hand held indoor and night pictures without a flash. Pictures look more natural without a harsh flash in my opinion. The camera reduces the resolution to 3 mega pixels when in available light mode. Apparently it uses the extra pixels to gather more light. The literature I read before buying the camera said the ISO...

A very good camera

Strengths: water resistant, battery life, fast focusing, powerful flash, monitor gains up well in low light and can be used in bright light, very fast and accurate focus, powerful flash, high ISO (2500)

Weakness: Noisy at higher ISO, no optical viewfinder, EV changes sometimes do not work with flash pictures, no 30 fps movies, no sharpness, contrast, or manual wb controls, no orientation sensor

I bought this camera because it is water resistant. My Canon S400 lost its LCD due to incidental contact with water. The LCD is excellent. It's good enough to verify proper focus in bright or dim light. Battery life is excellent even if flash used. I bought a knockoff battery which when new is as good as original and cost $20. Focus is quicker and more accurate than the S400 even though there is...

Olympus Stylus 800

Strengths: High resolution, Superior print output even in 8 & 1/2 x 11 print, Large crispy Clear LCD

Weakness: Haven't found anything yet. just got this last week. If there is any, I'd say it would be the measly 3X optical zoom.

Bought this for my Florida vacation getaway. I took a lot of pix in the beach and some good places we visit. Then took the cam to Walmart to get some print out. Oh boy, 8 & 1/2 x 11 print, as I suggested in the Strength, can't tell the difference between 35MM. This is absolutely a good starting point if you want to get a good quality print out for point and shoot camera...As far as the bundled...

Olympus Styles 800

Strengths: Big LCD,high resulution,convinient mode change, unique operation guidance

Weakness: Uses expensive xD cards,optical zoom is only a 3x.

I got this baby this week and played with it for some time. Compared with my previous Canon SD400, it has a much bigger LCD which make viewfinding very comfortable. But most of buttons are kind of small, especially the power button. It is light and has a nice shape. In all, it is very good camera that takes excellent pictures.

Great camera at a great price !!

Strengths: wide screen; multiple modes for shooting; easy to use

Weakness: in night mode, picture quality is poor

does not come with x-D picture card (have to purchase separately). Can be used during drizzle or rain also as camera is all weather proof (however you need to be careful)

Olympus Stylus 800

As the latest in that company's "Stylus" line of compact digital cameras, the 8-megapixel, 3x-zoom Olympus Stylus 800 is to my mind the best Stylus Digital model to date. -- I said that about the 5-megapixel Stylus 500 that preceded it, and now Olympus has corrected many of the relatively minor limitations I found in that earlier model. Its body design is trim and compact, with much...

Olympus Stylus 800 Digital Camera Review

The Olympus Stylus 800, known in Europe as the µ[mju:] Digital 800, comes equipped with an 8.0 megapixel, 1/1.8-inch CCD and Olympus’ Bright Capture Technology. A member of the long line of Stylus cameras, first introduced to film-based point-and-shooters in 1982, the camera is built for the automatically-reliant crowd with 22 automatic shooting modes. But it also includes several manual...

DCRP Review: Olympus Stylus 800

I have to admit that I wasn't really excited about the Olympus Stylus 800 when I first took it out of the box. But after using it for a while I kind of grew to like it -- well, most of it at least. While I think the 8 Megapixel resolution is going over the top (and the image quality suffers a bit as a result), the Stylus 800 is a competent compact camera that also happens to be weatherproof.
